A compact, well-located one-bedroom apartment in Whitefield offering low-maintenance living and clear investor potential. Set in a mid-century red-brick development, the flat benefits from a private garage, double glazing and access to well-kept communal gardens.
The apartment is currently tenanted, providing immediate rental income for investors, or it can be sold to a buyer seeking a straightforward, easy-to-manage home. The property has a very long lease (942 years) and low council tax (Band A), while the average service charge covers communal upkeep.
Practicalities to note: heating is via electric storage heaters and the main fuel is electricity, which may mean higher running costs compared with gas-heated homes. The property will be sold at auction with a starting bid of £87,500, so the purchase process is quick and conditional on auction terms.
Overall this is a solid, entry-level purchase in a very affluent, low-crime area with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — attractive to first-time buyers wanting a manageable home and to investors seeking an immediately let asset.
